She looked as if she was afraid that "Ms. Cui" would blame the people in the silver shop because of her.
Seeing her sincerity, Mrs. Cui felt that she was a person of good character.
Moreover, after a brief contact, Mrs. Cui, who is as astute as she is, has discovered that this Mrs. Gu seems to be a little too naive.
Well, this is Mrs. Cui's euphemism for good-looking people.
If it was someone with an average appearance, Mrs. Cui would probably say "stupid" in her heart.
Isn't that stupid?
As soon as they met, Mrs. Cui showed a little kindness, and Mrs. Gu treated her as a "sister".
She told him everything, including her last name, her husband's name, how many children she had, and how many acres of land her family had.
At first, Mrs. Cui listened with a smile.
But as she listened, her brows furrowed slightly - this Gu was too trusting.
In other words, she had no ill intentions. If someone else had impure intentions, they would definitely deceive her!
Just when she was thinking that Gu was about to be cheated, this overly naive and peerless beauty pretended to be mysterious and said to her, "Sister Cui, you are in business. I have a great business here that can make a lot of money."
"Moreover, that noble lady is the concubine of the county lord. She is the most respectable person in the county."
"Sister Cui, why don't you just join me in forming a partnership with my concubine? It will not only make money, but also provide a backer for our silver shop..."
Gu Qingcheng is like a child who is trying hard to imitate adults.
Even though he is so naive, he pretends to be mature and capable.
Mrs. Cui secretly laughed, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel alert.
She turned her head and looked at the shopkeeper standing beside her.
The shopkeeper seemed to understand Mrs. Cui's question and nodded quickly.
Just now, when I went to the back court to report to Mrs. Cui, the shopkeeper mentioned that the virtuous woman had angered Aunt Li and was carried out by the old women, which caused her to vomit blood.
It was because Mrs. Cui heard the three words "Auntie Li" that she was worried that this concubine might cause trouble outside, so she came in person to "comfort" her.
However, Mrs. Cui only knew that Aunt Li sent someone to take action, but she didn't know what happened between Gu and Aunt Li.
After hearing what Gu Qingcheng said, Mrs. Cui seemed to have guessed something——
I guess Li is trying to make trouble again and has created some "business".
Relying on the power of the county magistrate, he deceived the poor and lonely chaste woman.
Damn it!
A dark glint flashed in Mrs. Cui's eyes, but her face showed nothing.
Why was Mrs. Cui so sure that Aunt Li was "lying"?
The reason is very simple. Aunt Li was born a maid, has little knowledge, and is very greedy.
After being favored and having two children, she became more and more flamboyant.
It would be fine if he was really smart, but he is just a smart-aleck fool.
Mrs. Cui regarded Aunt Li as a tool to deal with her husband and share the risk of childbirth. As long as she didn't make too much trouble, Mrs. Cui would turn a blind eye.
However, judging from what Gu said, Aunt Li had actually started to extend her hands into the backyard and even started a "business".
Mrs. Cui can no longer tolerate this!
"What business? Sister, you said I'm a businessman and have some experience in business. Tell me about it and let me discuss it!"
Mrs. Cui remained calm and began to extract information from the "innocent" Gu Qingcheng.
"Sister Cui, let me tell you, it's just lending money at high interest..."
Gu Qingcheng really did not disappoint Mrs. Cui's expectations. She told all about Aunt Li's business affairs like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
In order to prove that she was not lying, she carefully took out a whole piece of paper from her sleeve pocket.
Gently opening it, Gu Qingcheng showed the paper to Mrs. Cui, "Sister Cui, look, this is the IOU that the middleman wrote to me."
"That man's surname is Qian, he's a relative of my husband's, we're all family!"
When Gu Qingcheng talked about Qian's family, her face was full of trust and a hint of pride.
It was as if she was saying, just believe me, Cousin Qian will not only help me make money for the sake of our relationship, but will also help you get in touch with my concubine.
Mrs. Cui's smile was a little stiff, and she looked at Gu Qingcheng with a hint of pity -
Alas, this girl’s brain must have been used to change her face.
God is indeed fair. He made Gu so beautiful, but too "stupid".
Li probably really wanted to make a living by lending money, but this slave was greedy and stingy. She wanted to make money but was unwilling to invest the capital.
She simply tried to "borrow a chicken to lay eggs".
The Gu family should be the "chicken" chosen by the Li family. Although they have invested capital, they may not get any dividends.
And there is Qian, the relative who is highly regarded by Gu. She is probably Li's accomplice, specifically deceiving people for Li.
This scam is very simple, even a little crude.
Mrs. Cui knew that Li would succeed.
Because she was using the title of county magistrate to bully others.
Ordinary women like Gu who were deceived did not dare to speak out even if they knew they were cheated because of the power of the county magistrate.
However, the magistrate's reputation was ruined, and once someone attacked him, this would be ready-made evidence!
